It looks crappy but I am curious if anyone here read it.

Adam Webb did the other Dennis bio, of course, like this one published by Creation Books. Never seen this particular book, but any author considering submitting to Creation ought to check out this website: http://www.creationbooksfraud.com/

They probably just excised the Manson portion of Adam Webb's book and reprinted with a new cover...looks super sleazy. Limited numbered 69 copies...yeah...that sounds like a quick cash grab.

Wow. That's a good public service to post that, Kirk. Yeesh.

All's I'm saying is it's amusing to look at these people's pictures and then start reading their text in how you imagine their voices to sound (only while making the faces they are in these photos, never changing).

Glad I never tried them out!

I'm especially intrigued by Lisa B. Falour, author of I Was For Sale: Confessions of a Bondage Model, whose website,  CuteCatFaith.com, advertises for a new publisher:

Lisa Falour's bondage modeling career spanned from 1980 to 1994.  Most famous of all her work were the HENRY ALTER photos she posed for for 14 years for this former Hollywood private secretary to Paul Henried, whose illustrious career was the topic of a book, "MY FRIEND HENRY," serialized in German PLAYBOY!

Henry gave her ALL the negatives.  She has HUNDREDS of them.  They are for sale ONLY TO A BOOK PUBLISHER, who will produce them with her text.  Henry wanted his story told!  There is nudity, but no porn, and Henry was careful to take a smiling picture of Lisa and her lovely pals on each roll of film he so carefully took!  These photos have been turned down by one of the top book publishers in the world!  Why, we don't know.  Do YOU want them?  They appeared in numerous magazines over the years, and Lisa would laugh when suits would ogle her in the elevators of the Halls of Commerce.  She has always been totally open and honest about her work, which was all done in the name of ART.  Her life . . . is an open book!  SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!

Anyway, in all seriousness, folks who've worked both sides of the publishing know writers can be just as ... um ... demanding as publishers can be dodgy. But this seems an egregious case for sure.

Mark, I was going to mention I've just finished Fifty Sides. Great job! The stories were a lot of fun. I especially liked the "KTSA" and "I'm Bugged at My Old Man" chapters. Lots of great stuff in there.

Once, long ago - it's unremitting sh*t.

Thanks, Kirk. I'm really glad you liked it.

I've read Adam Webb's other book about Dennis...didn't care much for it....too much incorrect info, bad editing, etc. Good effort, though.

Looked like it. Thanks for the heads up.

I liked what he had to say about some of his music but it was minor next to Jon's.
